“RUTO’S KSH 337B DAM BOMBSHELL! Firm Linked to President Bags Mega Deal Without Tender — Kenyans Cry ‘Kimwarer 2.0’”
President William Ruto is once again under fire after it emerged that a firm linked to him was handed the jaw-dropping Ksh 337 BILLION Grand Falls Dam contract in Tana River — and the bombshell? Sources claim the company did not even apply for the tender!
This explosive revelation has reignited old ghosts from the past, with Kenyans drawing parallels to the infamous Kimwarer and Arror dam scandals, where Ruto, then Deputy President, was accused of “swallowing” a mind-boggling Ksh 63 BILLION meant for the doomed projects.
The whispers in the political corridors are growing louder: How does one secure such a massive contract without going through the normal tendering process? Critics are branding it as another case of “state capture on steroids,” where public money seems to flow into politically-connected pockets while ordinary Kenyans grapple with high taxes and a crumbling economy.
Opposition voices are already sharpening their knives, warning that the Grand Falls Dam could soon be “Kimwarer 2.0” — a grand promise to transform the nation that may instead drown in corruption, cartels, and shady backroom deals.
For many Kenyans, the déjà vu is too real. Once again, dams and billions are in the same sentence — and Ruto is right at the center of the storm.
